I have been a patient of Texas Pulmonary for more than ten years for sleep apnea. The staff is…read morevery friendly and helpful. Dr. Eden is a very knowledgeable, thorough and kind doctor. I appreciated the extra information and guidance using the C-Pap machine.

This clinic is terrible. Communication is all but nonexistent. My mom has to go there by ambulance…read moredue to tracheostomy, vent and O2 support. She's supposed to have monthly appointments working toward decannulation. This year, she has missed four already. In one case, she had a gastric bleed and had to be hospitalized for two weeks that stretched across an upcoming appointment. Her pulmonologist is resident at that hospital and was seeing patients while she was there, so we requested well in advance that he see her at her ICU room. The request was never communicated to the doctor, so we missed that month's appointment. Then we discovered that he was taking the entire next month off for his honeymoon out of the country. We resumed two months later, but the following appointment was screwed up when the scheduler, who gave us the appointment card with time and date at that previous appointment, failed to actually schedule it. We arrived by ambulance only to be told that the mistake was theirs but that it could not be corrected because the doctor was booked solid. Two months after that, the doctor had told us that he wanted to see her in two weeks so that we could move forward with decannulation, but the soonest the office could manage was three weeks. The day before the appointment, we received a voicemail just before 6pm (with the appointment being first thing the next morning) from his assistant inexplicably canceling the appointment. It appears that she had failed to follow up on an order for speech therapy before the appointment and was responding to her own error. Oh, and then the next morning we got a text message saying WE had missed the appointment. We tried the rest of the week to get someone to get back with us for an explanation and the replacement appointment. We finally got through the next week to be told that the month was booked solid and that it would have to be some five weeks later in the following month - again, two months after the last appointment. We like the doctor, but the clinic is a train wreck. Calls don't get returned for a week or longer when they even are returned at all (most are not). As often as not, the communication when someone is reached by phone is rushed and tense. This is destroying my mom's health because the trach has been an ongoing source of infection, left in place even though she has been on the absolute minimum vent settings for five months. The existence of the trach means she has to be fed through a PEG tube, which in turn prevents us from switching her from hemodialysis, which is quite hard on the body, to vastly easier and safer peritoneal dialysis. Her doctor is worthy of four stars. The clinic gets one star because I can't give it zero.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wakwaya's for going on a year soon and have never been more thankful…read morefor being admitted to being a patient!! Dr. Wakwaya is very knowledgeable, thorough, and has really helped educate me and my family on my health and longterm plans. He was able to work with my other teams of doctors to determine an extremely rare diagnosis. But also, the entire staff there is absolutely darling. I know that I can call or email Erin or Christina any questions and they're very responsive, and if for some reason they're going to be out they provide easy instructions for getting in contact with others on the team that can help. Dr. Wakwaya's patient rooms nurse also so kind and will inform you of any vaccines that they have that are recommended for my condition (such as boosters) and it has really helped me stay ahead of any respiratory illness! The respiratory therapy team is HILARIOUS. I think I've seen at least 3 now throughout the various types of tests and they sure know how to make weird breathing tests entertaining and easy! I've had breathing tests elsewhere many times and sometimes they can be super laboring to the point I want to cry, but the only tears I'm shedding with y'all are tears of laughter. The vitals team, always so friendly and helpful with directing you through the patient itinerary! Phlebotomy, another joyous bunch, they've made me so comfortable, I trust their steady hands! I'm to the point where I can even watch them do it, couldn't do they before and I had had dozens if not hundreds of blood draws before! The check-in crew, talk about an operation! We as patients sometimes have really long back to back appointments and somehow y'all keep track of us and make sure we're getting to where we need to be. Thank you, it can be confusing for us sometimes! I don't want to assume, but as a patient it really feels like everyone likes working there or if they don't, we as patients sure don't know it! Anyway, I've seen over a hundred doctors in my young life and this practice is the MVP. No disrespect to any of my other fabulous doctors either because I do have insanely amazing other doctors too! Y'all are just THAT good and go THAT much above and beyond, I am so very thankful!!! Thank you!
